Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch protection boxes, and more particularly to a switch protection box for a PDU socket. Background Technology

[0002] PDU (Power Distribution Unit) sockets are power management devices used in computer rooms, server racks, power equipment, and other similar settings. They can provide centralized power supply and protection for multiple terminal devices. To protect against overload, short circuits, and other abnormal conditions in the electrical system, PDU sockets are usually equipped with air switches and have physical protection boxes to cover and protect them, thereby enhancing the overall operational safety of the PDU socket.

[0003] In existing technologies, the structure of switch protection boxes is relatively simple, generally just sleeved on the outside of the circuit breaker. When the PDU socket is subjected to external impact or vibration, the circuit breaker is prone to loosening, causing it to detach from its original installation position, thereby affecting the electrical connection stability of the PDU socket. In addition, once the circuit breaker is installed, its position is difficult to adjust flexibly according to actual needs, making it impossible for users to adjust the socket layout space in different application scenarios, thus affecting the installation convenience of the PDU socket.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a switch protection box for a PDU socket that has a stable structure and effectively improves the ease of installation.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a switch protection box for a PDU socket, comprising a track housing, a panel, a protective box body, a base, and a flip cover;

[0007] The track housing has sliding grooves on its two inner side walls, and the protective box has retaining plates on both sides, which can be slidably disposed in the sliding grooves.

[0008] The protective box is used to enclose and install the air switch, and the top of the protective box has an opening for partially exposing the air switch. The flip cover is rotatably connected to the top of the protective box by a pin, and the flip cover is used to close or open the opening.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, in the switch protection box of the PDU socket, the side of the flip cover away from the pin is provided with a flap, which is used for a person to hold and flip the flip cover.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, in the switch protection box of the PDU socket, the inner sides of the protection box are provided with a first limiting plate that is vertically downward. The first limiting plate abuts against the top of the air switch to restrict the air switch from sliding in the X-axis direction.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, in the switch protection box of the PDU socket, the bottom of the card plate is provided with a second limiting plate that is vertically downward. The second limiting plate abuts against the side wall of the air switch to restrict the air switch from sliding in the Y-axis direction.

[0026] To make the utility model's objectives, features, and advantages more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a switch protection box for a PDU socket, including a track housing 1, a panel 2, a protective box body 3, a base 4, and a flip cover 5;

[0030] The track housing 1 has two inner sidewalls respectively provided with sliding grooves 10, and the protective box 3 has two sides provided with retaining plates 31. The retaining plates 31 can be slidably disposed in the sliding grooves 10. When installing the protective box 3, simply align the retaining plates 31 with the sliding grooves 10 on the inner wall of the track housing 1 and push them in along the direction of the sliding grooves 10 to allow the protective box 3 to slide smoothly into the installation position. This simplifies the installation steps of the protective box 3, avoids the protective box 3 from tilting during the sliding process, and after the initial installation of the protective box 3, the position can still be finely adjusted in the sliding grooves 10, allowing the installer to flexibly adjust the position of the protective box 3 according to the actual installation requirements, thereby improving the layout flexibility of the PDU socket.

[0031] The protective housing 3 is used to enclose and install the air switch 6, and the top of the protective housing 3 has an opening 30 for partially exposing the air switch 6. The flip cover 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the protective housing 3 by a pin, and the flip cover 5 is used to close or open the opening 30. The air switch 6 is installed inside the protective housing 3, and the protective housing 3 can isolate and protect the air switch 6. When in use, the flip cover 5 is in a closed state to cover the opening 30, which plays a sealing and protective role. When it is necessary to operate the air switch 6, the user only needs to open the flip cover 5 to expose the operation button of the air switch 6. After the operation is completed, the flip cover 5 is closed again to achieve the closed state.

[0032] The base 4 is located at the bottom of the protective box 3. The base 4 is used to support the air switch 6 to prevent the air switch 6 from sinking under the action of gravity.

[0033] The panel 2 is slidably disposed within the slide groove 10, and the panel 2 is located at both ends of the protective box 3. The protective box 3 has a pressure plate 37 at its end, which is used to press against the edge of the panel 2. The panel 2 can cover the track housing 1. After the protective box 3 is installed in place, the panel 2 can be slid from both ends of the protective box 3 into the slide groove 10 and placed on the same horizontal plane as the clamping plate 31, thereby forming a flat interface. The setting of the pressure plate 37 can improve the alignment tightness between the panel 2 and the clamping plate 31 and prevent the panel 2 from becoming loose due to external vibration.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the flip cover 5 further has an arc-shaped structure, and the height of the arc-shaped structure gradually decreases from the middle to both ends. In this way, the flip cover 5 has sufficient height space in the middle, thereby effectively avoiding the operating part of the air switch 6 and reducing the risk of bumping caused by sharp corners.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the flip cover 5 is further provided with a positioning block 51 at its end, and the protective box 3 is provided with a slot 32 that is connected to the positioning block 51 by a snap fastener. When the flip cover 5 is rotated to the closed position, the positioning block 51 will be aligned and inserted into the slot 32 on the protective box 3 to form a snap fastener engagement, thereby improving the stability of the closed state of the flip cover 5 and preventing the flip cover 5 from being accidentally opened by external force.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, further, the flip cover 5 is provided with a lifting lug 52 on the side away from the pin. The lifting lug 52 is used for a person to hold and flip the flip cover 5, which effectively improves the ease of operation of the flip cover 5.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, the protective housing 3 has vertically downward-facing first limiting plates 33 on both sides inside. The first limiting plates 33 abut against the top of the air switch 6 to restrict the air switch 6 from sliding in the X-axis direction. When the air switch 6 is installed on the base 4 and pushed into the protective housing 3, its top abuts against the first limiting plates 33, thereby limiting the movement of the air switch 6 in the X-axis direction and avoiding problems such as loose terminals or poor electrical contact due to shaking.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the card plate 31 is provided with a vertically downward-facing second limiting plate 34. The second limiting plate 34 abuts against the side wall of the air switch 6 to restrict the air switch 6 from sliding in the Y-axis direction. This arrangement can effectively improve the assembly structure stability of the air switch 6.

[0039] like Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the protective box 3 is provided with a positioning post 35, and the base 4 is provided with a positioning sleeve 41 that is sleeved and connected to the positioning post 35. This arrangement can improve the ease of disassembly and assembly between the protective box 3 and the base 4.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the protective box 3 is further provided with inclined structures 36 at both ends. This design can reduce the sharp parts of the corners, effectively reduce the risk of bumps and collisions, and improve the human-computer interaction experience.

[0041] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
